I tried my best to help Zulong, and finally got my wife

Everyone was silent, watching the exorcist quietly.

The exorcist said angrily: "Shanyu, don't you even believe me? I predicted to you before that your son Maodun would take control of the grassland, and now it has come true. Are you still obsessed with it? "

"If the generals and Shan Yu don't believe me, I can leave now. What do I want from you?"

Touman Shanyu's face was livid, his son Modun was very ambitious, he had long wanted to seize his throne, snatch his wife, and inherit his property.

That's why he sent his son Maodun to the Yuezhi Kingdom as a hostage. Unexpectedly, this beast colluded with Zuo Xianwang and returned to the grassland smoothly.

"Sir, please stand up, we all listen to you."

"Master, are we really going to rise again in ten years?"

Tou Manchanyu's subordinates also asked questions in a hurry. The exorcist had one head and two big heads. He thought, how did I know that Zhang Shangqing told him.

As for you still wanting to rise, that's just my reassurance for you, otherwise Zhang Shangqing wouldn't chop me up if you killed the people in the city?

"It can't be any more true. This is what the God of the Prairie told me. Don't you even believe the God of the Grassland?"

The generals stopped talking, Touman Shanyu said: "Hurry up, grab the food and grass, let's run north, as long as we enter the desert, the people of Qin and Zhao will have nothing to do with us."

"Master, let's go too!"

"Go, you must go now!"

For a while, the Huns in Jiuyuan City, carrying food on their horses, drove some young and strong men out of the city one after another, heading directly to the north.

A day later, Li Mu and Zhang He came not far from Jiuyuan City, and the scouts who went to investigate came back with a dazed expression.

It is said that there are no Huns in Jiuyuan City at all. I heard from the people in the city that last night, the Huns left the city overnight and ran towards the north.

Yan Lingji also followed the scouts this time to inquire about the information left by the exorcist. At this time, she came to Zhang He's side.

"Shangqing, the exorcist left a message that Mao Dun had colluded with King Zuo Xian and had returned to the grassland from the Yueshi Kingdom. Touman was furious when he received the news. He wanted to massacre the city and escape from Jiuyuan. Touman, Touman gave up massacring the city and fled to the north..."

"The exorcist also said that he would go deep into the grasslands, look for opportunities, and take refuge in Maodun."

Zhang He glanced at Li Mu, Li Mu was watching him secretly, so Zhang He continued to talk to Yan Lingji in a low voice for a while.

After a long time, Zhang He looked at Li Mu and said with a smile, "General Li, let's divide our troops into two groups and go to chase the Huns. We must not let the Huns escape into the desert..."

"Jiuyuan and Wuyuan are both Zhao's cities, so I don't want to join them. What's more, Wuyuan is guarded by the Xiongnu Zuoxian King. General Li is familiar with that place. I took the army to chase Touman. This time Be sure to kill Touman on the grassland..."

Li Mu snorted coldly in his heart, just now Zhang He and that woman chattered for a long time, King Zuoxian has more than 2 troops on his side, and the situation is not clear, Touman Danyu is a stray dog.

I have only [-] troops, what if I break down in Wuyuan?

This one is very sinister!

"Zhang Shangqing, Touman Shanyu is ferocious, and the terrain of the grassland is complicated. I have been here for dozens of years. Let someone go after Touman. You go and attack the Zuoxian King in Wuyuan City."

Zhang He was speechless, it really was an old fox!

Zhang He said helplessly: "Okay, then so-and-so will attack Wuyuan. It just so happens that most of the army of so-and-so is infantry, good at attacking cities."

After the two discussed it well, they first came to Wuyuan City, and then divided the troops.

Li Mu led his cavalry north to pursue Touman, while Zhang He led the army slowly towards Wuyuan City.

Wuyuan City is already an empty city at this moment, what a fart to attack!

After walking for about twenty miles, Zhang He stopped and said, "Let's go back to the mansion, go back to Jiuyuan City to rest, and prepare to go north to grab the Huns' cattle and sheep!"

"Cai Xiang, ask your subordinates to lead five thousand infantrymen to Wuyuan City to see if there are any living people. If there are any, bring them all back."

Everyone was dumbfounded, because they didn't know that Wuyuan City was already an empty city, and even if there were people alive, there were probably very few people alive. King Zuo Xian retreated, how could he keep the population?

After Cai Xiang got the news, he also looked helpless, the Huns were cruel, they all knew that Wuyuan might already be a ghost.

After Zhang He returned to Jiuyuan City with his army, he stationed the army in Jiuyuan and Yunzhong, while Qin Zhong stayed in Shahukou and Heping City.

This line can be said to be quite stable. Even if the Huns go south again, they can only return north with hatred.

Zhang He was very happy that he could finally follow behind Li Mu to snatch the cattle, sheep and slaves of the Huns.

In fact, most of the slaves of the Xiongnu nobles were Hu Lin and Lou Anan who were snatched from the three northern counties. Of course, there must be people from the Central Plains.

Going deep into the grassland, infantry is definitely not enough. Infantry entering the grassland, especially in this winter, when encountering wind and snow, there is only one dead end, and they may never come back in this life.

Zhang He divided the cavalry of about [-] into two parts.

Some of them are led by Li Xin, and they follow Li Mu's buttocks. When Li Mu conquers a tribe, because Li Mu's troops are limited, he will definitely not take away those cattle and sheep, only some rations, so Li Xin can let the cavalry take the cattle and sheep. All rush back.

The other part was led by Cai Xiang. After entering the grassland, it circled the north of Yinshan Mountain and headed east.

As long as you meet the Xiongnu tribe, you can persuade them to surrender and go south with a large number of cattle and sheep. If you don't listen to good people, you will be killed on the spot, and then go south with the cattle and sheep.

At the same time, Zhang He wrote to Qin Zhong, asking Qin Zhong to send all the cavalry in his hands, go north from Pingcheng, and go all the way west to persuade the Huns to surrender.

And Zhang He returned to Yunzhong City with his personal guards, waiting for news from all parties.

Chapter 112 Nobles with the surname Ying, enter the grassland

In the following days, Zhang He started to salt fish.

In the morning, I practice the method of drawing the knife and breaking the water knife, take Yan Lingji out to hunt at noon, and barbecue when I come back in the evening.

When I feel bored for a while, and flirt with Yan Lingji again, Zhang He feels that this is his life!

Yan Lingji is very good at eating meat during this time, and she has gained a lot of weight from eating.

It's just that this Mobei is really not a place for women to stay. Yan Lingji's skin that can be broken by bullets is covered with traces of wind and frost.

But Yan Lingji was very happy, and she seemed to feel at home with Zhang He.

Although Zhang He kept a certain distance from her, this made Yan Lingji feel fond of Zhang He even more.

After about three days like this, the group of nobles surnamed Ying who set out from Xianyang, as well as some adventurous businessmen, finally arrived in Yunzhong City.

They were originally ordered to come here to receive prisoners of war, cattle and sheep, which did not do them much good. The most they could do was to go back and ask Ying Zheng to reward them with a title.

But Yingxi gave them a death order. If they didn't go to the north, they would confiscate their homes and demote them to common people.

With endless resentment, they came to the north. When they arrived in Yanmen County, the county governor Wang Wenyi told them that Zhang He said that cattle, sheep and slaves could be sold to them at half the market price in Xianyang. Sheep and other fur, they can buy whatever they want.

But the premise is that whoever dares to rob the people of the Central Plains without giving money, don’t blame Zhang He for turning his face and denying people. As for the Huns in the deep grasslands, how bold they are and how productive they are.

At this time, the nobles’ eyes were shining, and they paid money one after another. If they didn’t have enough money, they could write down documents and bought a lot of slaves and cattle and sheep furs. Pi wait!

If these furs are brought to Xianyang, made into clothes, and sold to the six countries, the nobles of the six countries will go crazy, especially the women of the nobles of the six countries.

So ever.

They let some of their men go south with these furs, and took the other part straight to Yunzhong City where Zhang He was, because Wang Wenyi said that Yunzhong City had something better than Shanwu.

After these people came to Yunzhong City, they went to see Zhang He. Although their surname was Ying, they were all Ying Zheng's uncles and uncles, and some even belonged to Ying Zheng's grandparents.

But they have no right now, the only thing worth showing off is their surname Win.

The capital of Yunzhongcheng County.

Zhang He received the spokespersons of these nobles surnamed Ying.

"I would also like to ask you to report your family name, so that we can communicate with each other in the future."

An old man over half a century old, with gray temples, stepped forward, bowed, with a smile on his face, and said: "A certain Yingbing, uncle of the king, is ordered by the king to go north to receive captives, cattle and sheep."

Then a middle-aged man said with a smile: "A certain Yingqian is the king's brother."

"A certain Yingqiao, a brother of the same clan as the king."

……

There were more than thirty people. After reporting their families, Zhang He knew that, except for this old man who was Ying Zheng's uncle, the rest of them were Ying Zheng's cousins, and some of them were members of the Ying clan who could not be reached.

It may be the offshoot of Ying Si's era.

However, according to historical records, there seemed to be more than [-] uncles and uncles of Yingzheng, and countless aunts.

Why are there so many uncles and uncles?This matter started from Yingji, Yingzheng's great-grandfather.

In history, Yingzheng’s great-grandfather, Yingji (mother Miyue), was a hostage in the country of Yan when he was young, and suffered a lot with his mother. After his elder brother Yingdang was smashed to death in Luoyang, Miyue took Yingji He returned to Qin State and inherited the throne.

After Ying Ji came to power, he swore in his heart that he would follow his father Ying Si as an example, devote himself to his career, dominate the six countries, and rule the world.

Therefore, Yingji was not very interested in female sex, and only had two sons in his life.

One is Prince Yingzhuo, and the other is Yingzhu. Yingzhu's fate is good. His elder brother, Prince Zhuo, fell ill and died when he was a hostage in Wei, so he became Yingji's successor as a matter of course.

It's a pity that after Ying Zhu became the crown prince, he waited and waited for decades. His son survived to become a father, but his father was still alive. (Yingji reigned for 55 years. In history, no one can compare except Kangxi and Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty.)

Ying Zhu could see that, he might have no hope of inheriting the throne after his father died, and he had nothing to do as a prince, so why?

Naturally, she was looking for a woman to have a baby.

Ever since, he expanded the Ying family, made up for his father's regrets, and gave birth to more than [-] sons and more than a dozen daughters.

He also married his favorite woman, Mrs. Huayang, but his favorite woman did not give birth to a child for him, which became his ultimate regret.

Finally, the old father Yingji went, and Yingzhu came to power, but maybe he exhausted his whole life's skills in order to have children and strengthen the Ying family. After three days in office, he left. .

That's why there was the story of Lu Buwei's strange goods and living, investing in winning others, and then there was the emperor Qin Shihuang who was known as Zheng Ge.

Zhang He looked at Yingzheng's uncles, cousins, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Yingzhu can really give birth, but compared with later online articles, one can be born in a second, which is still far behind.

"You are all relatives of the royal family with the surname Ying, Zhang is polite." Zhang He cupped his hands to show respect.

The old man Ying Bing, as the leader, said with a smile: "Zhang Shangqing is polite, we are here this time just to ask Zhang Shangqing, Zhang Shangqing's words count, those things can really..."

"That's right, Zhang Shangqing, the family can't live on that salary at all!"

"Zhang Shangqing, please give us some connections."

Before Yingzheng was not in power, these clansmen with the surname Ying were very awesome. They even wanted to push Yingzheng down from the throne and support Young Master Cheng Jiao to the throne. After Ying Zheng killed Young Master Cheng Jiao, he hated these clans very much. .

Some people were deprived of their titles, even their rights were taken back, and even their salaries were reduced to a minimum, as long as they didn't starve to death.

So these clansmen are like hungry wolves now, even if they are given a tiger, they will pounce on it without hesitation.

Zhang He had a smile on his face, like a little fox, and said with a smile: "You are all the king's clan, so naturally the king will not treat you badly, and the king also wants you to live a better life!"

"Prefect Wang Wenyi should have told you before that you can buy slaves, cattle, sheep, fur, etc."

"As for the price, it's less than half of the market price in Xianyang. After all, everyone will be transported to Xianyang, so why not give everyone some benefits?"

Ying Bing smiled and said: "Zhang Shangqing, what we are talking about is not about this, but about entering the depths of the grassland, it is really possible..."

Zhang He sneered in his heart. Sure enough, it was a group of people who were desperate for money. They could enter the depths of the grassland without spending a penny.

But Zhang He needs such a person now.

"This matter, this matter is difficult, in case everyone enters the grassland and something happens, how will you ask XX to explain to the king?"

"Zhang Shangqing doesn't need to worry about this matter, we have already written a letter to the king, life and death are fate." Ying Bing said immediately.

Zhang He lowered his voice, and said: "As long as you are brave enough, you can go deep into the grassland, and what you get is all yours. I have written a letter to the king."

Everyone's eyes lit up and their fists clenched tightly, wishing they could rush into the grassland right now.

"Don't worry, Zhang Shangqing, we naturally brought guards with us."

Zhang He shrugged his shoulders and said: "Then everyone, go, but I still advise you, don't go deep into the grassland, so as not to lose money and people."

Everyone immediately talked about guarantees, and some even asked if killing the Huns could be credited as a meritorious service in exchange for a title.

This made Zhang He very speechless. What if you kill those slaves and pretend to be slaves?

Zhang He decisively refused.

Then these people bid farewell to Zhang He, and Zhang He also came to the streets of Yunzhong City.

Yunzhong City has returned to its former prosperity, and inns and restaurants have opened one after another. Today, a large wave of caravans came, which made the people in Yunzhong City and the original merchants very happy. These people brought food and daily necessities, which were really what they needed urgently. .

To the Huns, the furs of cattle and sheep are cheap goods and they dismiss them. What they care about is food, so the Huns didn't care about these things at all before, but to the merchants in Xianyang, these are treasures.

In Yunzhong City, the common people took out the good things they had hidden and traded them with the merchants.

Except for some businessmen who traded, the clansmen named Ying, with their guards, rode horses and headed towards the depths of the grassland.

Standing at the top of the city, Zhang He watched these people leave with a smile on his face. The first step has been successful. When these people have tasted the sweetness and spread the word, there will be tens of thousands of nobles, rush into the grassland.

The Xiongnu in the grassland, if they still want to rise, they are dreaming!

If they escaped slowly, they might be exterminated.
